Widescreens in motion

With widescreens and browsers on the mind, I noticed a nice way to use some of that "extra" space browser windows may provide on larger screens. As I updated my Flash player, I noticed that the "Search" box was located on the far right of the screen, despite there being no other content that far over.



I suspected that changing the size of the browser window would trigger some alternative layout that realigns the search box in relation to the top links. My suspicion was confirmed:



The search box remains right-aligned, but is now placed above the top navigation links rather than next to them.

It's an interesting and well-executed approach, and it should be noted, is not even that difficult to do.
